New Chariot arrives

The new caravan has arrived, not to bad. I only ordered it 2 weeks ago when we came home from Coffs Harbour.
This van has a toilet and shower, one of the requirements to keep my wife happy during our outings. This one is a bit bigger and has quite a few extras that were missing on the original.
I tried to get her to pose for the camera on her new thrown but she wouldn't be in it. Don't worry I will get that shot sometime soon.

Now it's just a matter of getting time off work to use the van. I might have to retire or something drastic but I'm sure we will get some use out of it very soon.

Nicer than my house.
Can I live in it while I do a bit of "Greek Renovating"?

Go Doug! Looks very nice. All you need to do is cut a hole in the roof and you will have a nice cozy mobile observatory.

Good one Peter, I hope you got what you were after now you can go shopping for the new one.
From what I found your comments about Watsons prices were correct and it will be well worth a trip to either Grafton or even Brisbane to buy you new one.
I saved several thousand dollars by comming home and buying the van here in Albury.

Have a great trip as well mate. Hope all the familly are well. Say hello to Elise and the boys from us.
